5 Steps to Finding the Right Institutions & Principal Investigators for Phase I Trials

As pharma companies begin planning their phase I trials, they should keep diversity goals top of mind. Finding the right institutions and principal investigators helps advance health equity for all. Here are 5 steps to achieving greater diversity in clinical trials.

Step 1: Start with Inclusion

Inclusion is the precursor to building trust between patients and doctors and the bridge leading to a more equitable healthcare system for all. Clinical operations and feasibility teams have begun to shift their approach to ensure trials are run by a more diverse group of researchers.

Step 2: Build a Holistic Approach to Diversity Planning

H1 uses a cross-functional approach to get a holistic understanding of trialists. By looking at diversity insights generated from more than census and publicly available data, you can build more accurate profiles for Sites and Principal Investigators most likely to fit your business needs.

Step 3: Incorporate Robust Data Points

Step 4: Establish a Diversity Baseline

Step 5: Visualize Data for Faster Decision Making

Layer and visualize patient, PI, and Site cohorts to support data driven decision making. Data visualization allows you to see potential PIs and sites based on location and proximity to patient clusters and much more.
